This week, the nation put an end to its 60-day visa-free entry program for tourists from 93 countries and territories, including the U.S. Thailand, which welcomed nearly 33 million foreign visitors last year, shortened visa lengths to 30 days instead. The Thai Foreign Ministry explained that the limits were put into place partly due to security concerns, with visitors committing crimes, and multiple arrests made for drug and human trafficking.
They wanted a slice of the action. London pizza is now trending, with restaurants in the city offering “a lot of these styles [sold in other cities], but with no rules,” Gerry del Guercio, who runs “Bite Twice,” a popular social media review series, told CNN. Del Guercio and his co-host Paul Delany have tasted the slices at 600 pizza joints in the city and claim to have coined the term “London pizza.”
They are screaming about this ice cream. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency suspended the licenses of a Quebec frozen dessert company that makes kosher and dairy-free ice cream sold in many supermarkets. Abe’s Frozen Desserts Inc. must halt all production after an inspection found issues with pasteurization and sanitation, and even a sampling for Listeria monocytogenes.
They must really be kicking themselves. Mexico will host just six national teams during the FIFA World Cup, which leaves many of the training sites the country prepared vacant. Forty of the 48 teams chose to stay in the U.S., so only Mexico, South Africa, Uruguay, South Korea, Tunisia and Colombia will be setting up camp in Mexico. The remaining two teams, Canada and Panama, will be in Canada.
They get some green if they go green. Thousands of Western Australians are eligible for a $150 cash rebate if they plant native trees in their yards. The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation’s initiative, dubbed “Treebate,” requires that Aussies choose a tree that reaches 3 meters in height by maturity. In order to get the cash, they must provide a photo of the plant as well as proof of purchase.
